Legacy Begins this Wednesday: Legacy is a tradition where fourth graders, “seniors” of the lower school, run a snack cart during lunch with sweet and salty treats to sell to other students. Treats are 50 cents each, and profits go towards the fourth grade class to purchase something to give back to the school at the end of the year. The kids love this tradition. Thank you for supporting our school and 4th graders in this project.
Lower School Fall Clubs: There is still time to sign up for a fall club if you have not done so already!
Robotics begins this week. Youth Development, Soccer Shots, and Taekwondo begin next week.
